Shi Miyuan let out a creepy laugh and said, "Kill me, then kill me!" Anyway, everyone is going to die, so what's the difference between a little earlier and a little later? Do you think you can run after killing me? Just wash your necks and wait for Yang Yan to slaughter you! As he spoke, he grabbed Zong Tianxuan's wrist and pulled him to beat himself. Bayi [(Chinese?<

Zong Tianxuan was furious, raised his palm and was about to slap it down, but fortunately, Xie Qingfeng and Song Yiren came up left and right to stop them, Xie Qingfeng said angrily: "When is this coming, what's the use of you fighting for these now." ”

Song Yiren also said: "Yes, now everyone is in the same boat, and no one can run away if something happens, so calm down and see if there is any other way?" ”

Only then did both of them let go of their hands, and they parted, still gasping for breath. At this time, Zhao Hong, who was on the side, suddenly said: "What's the big deal, so that you all become like this." Saying that, he walked between the two, pulled one in one hand, and said: "Don't worry, with God's protection, Yang Yan will let him run away, what's the big deal, it's so difficult that he can still disobey God." Isn't that hypocrite still in the city? I personally went to supervise the war and killed that hypocrite, wouldn't there be nothing? ”

At this time, Xie Qingfeng and Song Yiren glanced at each other, in the past few days, they had been busy attacking the palace and arresting Yang Yan, and they didn't notice Zhao Hong, and now it seems that Zhao Hong's reaction is a little wrong. Even Zong Tianxuan felt that Zhao Hong was a little strange.

And at this moment, a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in Shi Miyuan's mind, and the whole person seemed to wake up, and then he said: "Everyone, there is one last way now, whether it succeeds or not, it depends on your efforts." ”

When Zong Tianxuan, Xie Qingfeng, and Song Yiren heard this, they didn't care about Zhao Hong, and they all set their eyes on Shi Miyuan.

Shi Miyuan continued: "Now immediately mobilize all our manpower, don't care about other places, go and attack the palace, before Yang Yan's reinforcements arrive, attack the palace first, and capture the puppet monarch and Yang Yan's family as hostages, in this way, even if Yang Yan transfers men and horses, we have hostages again, he will not help, this is the only way for us to turn defeat into victory, if you want to live, then go and try to attack the palace." ”

Xie Qingfeng's eyes also lit up, and he said, "Yes, this is really a good way, let's go immediately." ”

At this time, Shi Miyuan ignored them, straightened his clothes, and then walked straight out. Song Yiren was a little strange and said, "Master Shi, what are you going to do?" But he was thinking in his heart, Shi Miyuan didn't take advantage of his people to fight to the death with Song Jun, but he himself sneaked away.

Shi Miyuan stopped his steps, but did not look back, and said lightly: "Are you afraid that I will run away?" Don't worry, it's all the land of the Great Song Dynasty outside, even if I want to run, where can I run? I'm going out of the city now to transfer Li Quan's men and horses into the city, and with his men, we have a greater chance of turning defeat into victory. As for you, you can do it all for yourselves. With that, he walked out of the door, turned a corner, and was gone.

Zong Tianxuan, Xie Qingfeng, and Song Yiren glanced at each other, and Song Yiren said: "Now there is only one way, don't hesitate, let's act immediately." ”

Zong Tianxuan and Xie Qingfeng also nodded, and the three of them immediately went separately to recruit people. Leaving Zhao Hong alone, he said to himself: "What's wrong with them, what's so terrible, I was able to ascend the throne by the mandate of heaven, who can compete with the will of heaven?" ”

So Zong Tianxuan and the others immediately took action, gathered all the rebels in the city, and even stopped guarding the city gate, preparing to make a desperate attempt to attack the imperial city. At this time, Zong Tianxuan suddenly thought that Yang Yan's treasure knife was still inserted on the city wall outside Zhengyang Gate, so he could use it. So he personally came to the Zhengyang Gate, pulled out the knife, brought it to the imperial city, showed the treasure knife, and falsely claimed that Yang Yanyi was killed by himself, hoping to disturb the military morale of the defenders of the imperial city.

Yang Yan's treasure knife "Wind Forest Volcano" is very famous, among the defenders guarding the imperial city, most people know it, especially people like Zhao Yueru, Zhao Qianru, Tie Chenglin, Gu Xueping and others, they are all very familiar with this knife, although it is far away, it can also be seen that the knife in Zong Tianxuan's hand is indeed very similar to the "Wind Forest Volcano". Therefore, everyone was a little suspicious in their hearts: how did Yang Yan return to Jiankang, he was really difficult......

Zhao Chen's impression of the "Wind Forest Volcano" is not deep, but seeing the current expressions of Zhao Yueru, Zhao Qianru, Tie Chenglin, Gu Xueping and others, he can't help but feel a little uneasy, but he is still calm in the end, and his confidence in Yang Yan has been erected since he was a child, and it is deep-rooted, believing that he will never die in the hands of Zong Tianxuan, so he said in a deep voice: "Don't believe their nonsense, let alone how your brother-in-law rushed back to Jiankang for no reason, even if it is, with his brother-in-law being brave and invincible, how could he die in the hands of Zong Tianxuan, He must be lying to us and trying to confuse our army. This knife must have been a replica of them. ”

When the others heard this, they all felt that what he said made sense, but only Zhao Yueru, Zhao Qianru, Tie Chenglin, Gu Xueping and others still had solemn faces, because the size and style of the "Wind Forest Volcano" were very special, and they were very different from other knives, and they could not be imitated in a moment.

When Zhao Chen saw it, he also knew that they couldn't be relieved in their hearts, so he said to Tie Chenglin: "Chenglin, you go and tell Zong Tianxuan to ask him to throw the knife over to show us, if he doesn't dare, then it must be fake." ”

Tie Chenglin nodded, thinking that there was only this way to judge the truth and falsehood, so he said loudly: "Zong Tianxuan, don't use a fake knife to deceive people, do you dare to throw the knife over, let's take a closer look?" ”

As soon as Zong Tianxuan heard this, he knew that his lie just now had an effect, so he smiled and said, "Everyone has been killed by me, so why don't you dare to give you a knife." As he spoke, he threw the "Wind Forest Volcano" over, and with a "bang", he inserted it on the wall of the imperial city, and said: "You take a good look, don't say that I lied to you." ”

Tie Chenglin tied a rope, slid to the side of the knife, pulled the knife out of the city wall, climbed up the city wall again, and handed it to Zhao Chen to watch. Zhao Chen took the knife in his hand, only to feel that it was so heavy that he was not struggling, and was about to ask Zhao Qianru, when suddenly Zhao Yueru's body trembled, and she was almost about to fall, fortunately, it was Hong Shu'er beside her who supported her, and Zhao Qianru was also pale, without any blood at all, Tie Chenglin and Gu Xueping also bowed their heads and were silent, Gu Xueping's eyes were full of tears.

Among the people present, the four of them were the most familiar with the "Wind Forest Volcano", looking at the expressions of the four of them, everyone knew the answer, Zhao Chen said in a trembling voice: "This is really ......"

Zhao Qianru nodded slightly and said, "Really...... It's just ......" his voice choked up, and he couldn't speak.

Gu Xueping let out a "wow" and cried. And Zhao Yueru and Zhao Qianru finally couldn't help it and cried. Even Ye Muxue couldn't help crying.

At this time, no one present doubted the authenticity of this knife, and their hearts couldn't help but be depressed.

In fact, strictly speaking, because Yang Yan was far away in Western Xia, Zhao Chen and the others never expected Yang Yan to come to their rescue. But Yang Yan is Zhao Chen's most trusted minister, and he is also the most outstanding general in the current Great Song Dynasty, and he has a high prestige in the hearts of every soldier, so when he suddenly heard that he died quickly, and he died at the hands of the rebels, the morale of the entire Song army could not help but be greatly reduced.

Zhao Chen only felt a pain in his heart, since he ascended the throne, he has always trusted Yang Yan, there is no suspicion, and Yang Yan is invincible, and the image of winning a hundred battles has been ingrained in his mind, and now he can't believe it, Yang Yan really died like this, but if Yang Yan didn't die, why did the treasure knife that he never left his side fall into the hands of the rebels?

He looked down at the treasure knife in his hand again, and suddenly his heart flashed, and he said loudly: "No, no." Don't cry, it's not right. ”

Everyone present looked at him a little inexplicably, and some people even thought in their hearts that the emperor was so difficult that he couldn't be enchanted. Zhao Chen said: "If my brother-in-law is really killed by them, or is arrested, they should bring my brother-in-law in person, to see people alive and corpses when they die, and they will never just take a knife." ”

Zhao Yueru and Zhao Qianru also stopped crying when they heard what he said, and said, "Then what's going on with this knife?" ”

Zhao Chen pondered for a while, but couldn't answer. At this time, Han Yan said directly: "Your Majesty just said that it makes sense, princess, we assume that the horse did return to Jiankang for some reason, with his intelligence, it is not difficult to see that Jiankang's situation is not right, maybe he has encountered rebels, and the two sides are fighting." In the midst of the battle, the colt lost his sword, but escaped. And the rebels are now using this knife to deceive us. ”

When he first heard the news of Yang Yan's unforeseen situation, although Han Yanzhi was also very sad in his heart, he was far less grief-stricken than Zhao Yueru, Zhao Qianru and others. Therefore, after listening to Zhao Chen's words, this big loophole also appeared, and he was a spectator in the end, and he got to the point.

Zhao Chen was also a little excited, and said, "Yes, Han Xiang is not wrong. ”

Zhao Yueru and Zhao Qianru thought about it carefully, Han Yanzhi's reasoning could not be said to be unreasonable, Zong Tianxuan's actions did have a major loophole, and it was impossible to justify himself. Although it is not certain that Yang Yan is not dead, it cannot be said that Yang Yan must be dead.

At this time, Han Yanzhi suddenly shouted at the city: "Zong Tianxuan, where did you find the treasure knife of the donkey, and used it to deceive us, you have the ability to bring the corpse of the donkey to show us." ”

Zong Tianxuan saw the crying sound from the city just now, and he couldn't help but be overjoyed in his heart, it seemed that this plan had been completed, and he was proud, but he didn't expect Han Yanzhi to ask such a question, and he didn't know how to answer for a while. Zhao Chen, Zhao Yueru, and Zhao Qianru saw his expression, and they didn't feel a little more confident that Yang Yan was still alive.

Zhao Chen continued: "Zong Tianxuan, how did you deceive us with your little trick, Yang Yuma must go to mobilize reinforcements, and he will come to the rescue soon." ”

He said this sentence unintentionally, but it suddenly hit Zong Tianxuan's heart, Zong Tianxuan couldn't help but roar, and said, "I will kill all of you before Yang Yan's reinforcements arrive." Then he commanded the rebels and said, "Give me the siege." ”

Zong Tianxuan didn't expect that his words would make the people in the city feel relieved, Zhao Chen couldn't help but be overjoyed, and said: "Did you hear what he said, my brother-in-law really came back with the scriptures, and he is mobilizing reinforcements, and he will come to rescue us soon." ”

Han Yanzhi also nodded and said, "What Your Majesty said is true, but the rebels have come up with a scripture, and please ask Your Majesty to stand back, and leave it to the soldiers here." We'll be sure to keep watch until the horses come. ”

Zhao Chen also knew that he would only get in the way on the city wall, so he and Zhao Yueru, Zhao Qianru and others retreated from the city wall and climbed to an attic behind to watch the battle. Han Yanzhi led Yan Wei, Tie Chenglin, Gu Xueping, Zhang Wei, Han Zhaojing, Zhang Wenzhu and others to guard the city wall. And Shui Jing, Shui Yue and the others and Ye Muxue also retreated to the attic with Zhao Chen, on the one hand, to protect Zhao Chen and others, on the other hand, they did not want to make more kills, and the other party's masters did not come forward, or until the critical moment, they were not ready to make a move.

As soon as Zhao Yueru retreated upstairs, she immediately ordered that the two Song troops who were resting in rotation be transferred to a group to help defend the city. At the same time, he ordered the archers and crossbowmen to climb to the nearby rooftops, occupy the commanding heights, and shoot arrows downward.

Although there has been no siege in the past few days, the rebels have made a lot of preparations, equipped a lot of weapons, collected a lot of wooden ladders, and increased the number of people, so the offensive is much more powerful than four days ago.

But in the past few days, the Song army has also made a lot of preparations, demolishing many rockeries in the garden and serving them as tools to defend the city. The number of people has also increased considerably. Moreover, Zhao Yueru is in command in the back, and timely adjustments are made in response to the loopholes in defending the city. In addition, the Song army was a well-trained regular army in peacetime, and even though most of them were female soldiers, their quality was stronger than that of the rebel rabble.

Therefore, after the offensive and defensive battle began, although the rebels were huge at the beginning, under the strict defense of the Song army, they could not attack the city wall at all, and the Song army occupied the nearby high point, covered by bows and arrows, and the large and small stones of the defending city fell together, and after a while, a lot of corpses accumulated on the city wall.

And although the number of rebels is numerous, but the real contribution is still from Taihu, Lin'an with the people who came over, and later the temporary recruitment of most of them are ruffians, usually oppress good deeds, as soon as they come to the real character, they will be defeated first, so they did not wait for the attack, they secretly ran down first. Some people also shouted while running, beckoning others to flee with them, so the rebels attacked several times in vain, and the effect was not as good as the last time.
